Part of the great Radical Dreamers 'Far Promise' ReMix flood of April 21st, 2001. As Mr. Matthews points out in his ID3 tag 'This is a Real steinway Sir' - this is acoustic piano and nothin' but, a good counterpart to Prozax's intonation for the more solo-minded 'Far Promise' afficionado. The recording ain't perfect, but the arrangement damn near is - excellent dynamics, lots of emotion, and great fingerwork on some of the ornamentation that's been added in. I'm on a deadline now so I can't write any more, trying to get these all up by midnight - a good one!

This is eerily similar in concept to Radiohead's 'How I Made My
Millions', which is another piano piece with subpar recording and
someone doing the dishes in the background. I found that a little
odd, especially since this mix was made well ahead of Thom Yorke's
song.
But moreso, in this I get an overwhelming sense of listening to
something that has been lost from the world for a century; like a
masterwork of a composer who died unappreciated. Unintentional or
not, the disregard for recording quality makes this piece quite
special, and speaks to me on a lot of levels.
This is one of the best arrangements around, if you ask me, and the
roughage that is supplied by the production quality actually goes
down smooth as well. Perfectly imperfect, and something we aren't
likely to see ever again to this magnitude. Which is probably just
as well. As a one off, this achieves so much.

The recording quality was pretty bad, but the interpretation was
really good, especially considering the age of the mix; I think
arrangementwise, this would be passable even today, but the
combination of the distortion on the louder parts and whoever was
washing dishes in the background brings it down a bit.
Actually, scratch the dishes part, that can stay, but the heavy
distortion near the end hurts. :-(

I love this remix so much! The lo-fi recording combined with a real
piano makes for some of the most serious mojo in the OC Remix
catalogue. It really sings, and the dynamics only brings shame to
other songs.

Everyone is right! The quality of the recording does add to the
overall effect of the piece. I really liked the way you did the
ending, the last few chords reminded me of some other song...hmm I
wonder what it could be...just kidding. But overall very nice work!

I totally agree. The sub-par recording of this piece seems to add a
sort of sorrowful, edgar-allen-poeish sense. It sort of reminds me
of those old black and white movies...I LOVE it, and I just think
this piece would be much less effective if the recording quality
was upped.

Yes, this song DOES have really bad recording - there's some random
static at certain points, but it's REALLY well done. A mellow,
all-piano remix of the Far Promise song, it improvises more on the
original melody than a few others, is beatifully arranged, and can
be put on loop for hours on end. I'd really like to see a newer
recording of this song with no fuzz. Even so, it's one of the
better Far Promise mixes. Get it.
